An Ekko MOVIE Is The Only “Real” Option Right?

The creators of ARCANE have repeatedly stated they are exploring spin-off shows/movies that feature characters from ARCANE. Mel is most likely guaranteed to appear in the NOXUS show. But the only other character who seems “viable” for a true ARCANE “spin-off” is…Ekko

And A Movie is The Way To Do It.

There were several deleted scenes involving his character and backstory that we missed in ARCANE. We never got a chance to fully delve into his character and development. We nothing about his parents or how he actually started the firelights. This makes sense. ARCANE first and foremost was about the sisters (with a slight bias towards Powder/Jinx) Ekko’s story was not meant to be the focus.

However, I believe he might be the most “popular” character in ARCANE after Jinx. Season 2 definitely increased his popularity. If the creators are serious about ARCANE “spin-offs” then Ekko seems like the only “real” choice from a “success driven” standpoint.

Ekko’s character probably has the most background lore and information that the creators could utilize for a movie. Some fans were dissatisfied with how the show seemingly “glossed over” his character in service of other characters (Jinx). But I believe that a solo movie could be the perfect opportunity to course correct this. A solo movie allows for you to tell a cohesive story just about one character without getting bogged down by the minutiae of a long series. It’s also cheaper.

Possible Movie Plotlines

  • His response to the new status quo for Zaun.
  • A His conflicts with chembarons or the council!
  • His actual backstory that was glossed over!
  • His connections with other Zaun characters.
  • His creation of the new ZDrive
  • His backstory/Deleted Scenes with Jinx & Silco
  • His creation of the Firelights
  • ???

QUESTIONS

How likely do you think that a spin-off will happen for him?

What should An Ekko Movie Be About?

BONUS

What do They NEED to include/exclude In order to do the character justice?

This is obviously all dependent on if they actually make any “Arcane Spin-Offs” and not just only make the NOXUS show by itself.
